Here we will show you step-by-step how to simplify 60/216 to the simplest form.
The key to solving this problem is to find the greatest common divisor of 60 and 216.
To find the greatest common divisor of 60 and 216, we list all of the factors of both numbers so we can compare the lists.
When we compared the factors of 60 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60) and 216 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, 216) we found that 12 is the largest factor that they have in common.
Since 12 is the largest common factor of 60 and 216, 12 is also the greatest common divisor of 60 and 216.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator in 60/216 by the greatest common divisor as follows:
Numerator: 60/12 = 5
Denominator: 216/12 = 18
Then, we put the numerator and denominator that we are left with back together to get our answer.
60/216 to the simplest form is:
5/18
